Tony's will be serving up about a dozen dishes in all (some vegan, some veg, some not), including a vegan "Faux Gras" made from cashew, parsnip, sherry, and pink peppercorns. George and Brown also go as far to pair each dish with a musical selection, meaning your "Seven Layer Trip" dip should be scooped while bobbing to the Talking Heads "Pyscho Killer" or the Welsh Rarebit noshed with The Buzzcocks' "Why Can't I Touch It?"

This being a Tony Yanow establishment, there will of course be plenty of craft brews, and if come around the right time (6-9 p.m.) you might even be able to have the Hot Knives duo sign your cookbook, or challenge them to a game of billards. Winner buys a round of beer and kale salad?
